YouTube Red is here to give you an ad-free experience for $9.99 per month

If you're familiar with Music Key, you know the basics of YouTube Red - for $9.99 you'll get an ad-free experience on YouTube as well as options for background and offline playback. There are a few big differences though. First, YouTube Red covers all of YouTube, not just music content. Second, YouTube Red will still be bundled with Play Music All Access, so you'll get all the music and video streaming together for one monthly fee (it has not been confirmed, but we assume this will also apply to the upcoming family plans). Lastly, while YouTube Red will be optional for most content, you will get extra original content if you subscribe. 

This means that while you'll still be able to watch all your favorite channels in the ad-supported version without paying the subscription, those who subscribe will also get exclusive content like: 

The service is expected to go live on October 28th and will only be available in the US to start. 

What do you all think? Is it worth $9.99 per month for Google Play Music All Access, ad-free YouTube streaming, and exclusive original content? At the very least, it's an interesting alternative to allow content creators to get paid for their work without worrying about people using adblockers.
